Do not wear pearls on your wedding day
One of the most well-known is that pearls should not be worn on the day of the celebration, since they represent the tears of angels and are believed to attract many problems and sadness during the marriage, so to speak, they fill the relationship with tears.
Purpose of the veil
The veil not only adds an aesthetic and elegant touch to the bride's attire, but it is also thought to protect her from envious glances and jealousy she may receive during the ceremony, whether from family or friends.
While it is customary for newlyweds to receive gifts for their new home, knives should be avoided, as they are a symbol of the dissolution of the marriage; in a way, they can be said to end the marriage.
However, if this type of gift is received, the bride and groom should give a coin, regardless of the denomination, to the person giving it to, to represent a purchase and prevent it from causing problems for the couple.
Throwing rice
Although it is now a little-used practice due to the waste of food it entails, in ancient times it was a way of wishing them a fertile life with offspring. It is a tradition that originated in the East, but was gradually adopted by other parts of the world.
The arras
These 13 coins, usually made of gold or silver, are given to symbolize the commitment both have to share and care for the goods, doing their best to ensure nothing is ever lacking. Each one represents the months of the year, and an extra one represents an act of generosity for the disadvantaged.
These are just a few of the traditions and customs surrounding the celebration of marriage, as almost everything that is done or not done during the wedding has a meaning or a story from the past.
